Pretend Money for Kids - Realistic Play Money Set, 384PCS, Ages 3+, Teaches Math & Money Skills, Fun Shopping & Banking Toys, 80PCS Different Product Price Cards, Preschool Learning Tool

Very helpful, the cards were easy to read and made teaching my grandson the value of money

I ordered this to help encourage my child's math skills. They have started counting by tens, twenties, fifties and hundreds. While we practice with counting, shopping with this fake money makes it fun. Good quality as it has held up with multiple uses.

What else can I say besides that... The paper the money is printed on is glossy "magazine" style paper, it looks nice but it will tear easily. This is a good starting place for easy and endless play with imaginative kids or adults to set up "shop" and start gaming, role playing or just having fun. Also ripe to be used as props for any sort of learning activity, especially economics or math. The cards are an interesting addition... you're free to use them any way you can cook up. DECENT.

good for learning and playing with

I used the fake money for a kids bank. There is plenty of fake money to keep kids busy with it. There are cards to play a game that provides tools to help kids understand money.

This fake money is a nice way to teach young children how to count. They thinks it's all a fun game but in reality are learning as well. The set comes with nearly 300 pieces so you can use it with multiple kids at one time. Great learning tool/game for young kids.

So we are using this not as a toy, but as the reward/payment for performing chores. We are using this so we don't loose money around the house or out in about. Everything is holding up quite well, besides the the bills that took on a full glass of lemonade. Those are gone, lol.They look exactly like the photos. So don't expect realistic bills here, lol.

Keep in mind I expose all children's materials a a "zoo" of 26 excited 6-year-olds (my kindergarteners).It is nice to receive so many bills, but there are too many. I would suggest cutting the amount in 1/2 and storing the rest. Within a day, so many were crumpled up and jammed into kitchen crevices. We've started afresh, but I'm still not thrilled with how these kids approach the dollars. The material/paper is not paper-thin, but not thick. The money doesn't have the weight to lay flat or aid in the use of a cash register storage. Right now the kids have the dollars stuffed in a play bucket.I have saved the "shopping cards" for when we study money in the Spring. These seem to be a great addition to dramatic play when you want to integrate learning and math exercises.
